Parts for Frigidaire PLES389ACA: 03 - Backguard Parts

The Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges and ovens. It is responsible for controlling the temperature and operation of the warming drawer or zone feature.

Causes of a bad Switch can include electrical malfunctions or short circuits, mechanical wear from repeated use, and exposure to moisture or debris.

Symptoms of a bad Switch include:

• Inability to activate or control the warming drawer or zone
• Erratic temperature fluctuations
• Overheating or failure to heat the warming area

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This dual infinite switch controls heat settings for a range's surface element, letting you adjust cooking temperatures smoothly and reliably. It replaces a worn or failing infinite control to restore variable burner power. What it does:

• Selects variable power levels for a dual (dual-ring) surface heating element
• Allows smooth adjustment from low to high heat for cooking tasks
• Stops responding or prevents element from heating when the switch fails
• Can cause uneven or no heat and intermittent element operation if defective

• One dual infinite switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting work to avoid shock
• Remove the cooktop or back panel and control knob to access the switch
• Verify correct switch orientation and wiring match the old part before fastening

This truss-head machine screw secures a switch to its mounting bracket or panel. Replacing a worn or missing screw restores a solid, aligned switch fit for reliable operation.

• Fastens the switch body to a bracket or chassis panel
• Helps keep the switch aligned for consistent actuation
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing mounting hardware
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly switch, misalignment, rattling or vibration around the switch area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Verify thread size and length match the original hardware
• If multiple screws secure the switch, replace them in a consistent pattern to maintain alignment

This is a 10-24 x 1/2 inch machine screw used to secure temperature probes, thermistor brackets, shields and drawer/box components. It provides a simple, reliable fastener for small appliance assemblies. What it does:

• Secures probe or thermistor brackets to the appliance chassis or housing
• Holds shielding or small drawer/box parts in place to prevent movement or rattling
• Helps maintain correct sensor positioning so temperature readings stay stable
• Common replacement when a stripped, corroded, or missing screw causes loose parts or vibration

• One 10-24 x 1/2 in. screw

• Use the matching 10-24 threaded hole; avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping or cracking nearby plastic
• If replacing a corroded screw, inspect mating threads and components for damage before reuse
• Turn off and unplug the appliance or disconnect power before accessing internal components
